F A Q

How can I confirm that my child is registered for the event?

Please email our helpful Regional Coordinators for USAC at region12@usaclimbing.org

Can I spectate at the event?

Yes, we highly encourage spectating (and cheering)! All spectators will need to watch the Rock Haven safety video and sign a waiver. Visit rockhavenclimbing.com and click on Sign a Waiver to get started.

Can I volunteer at the youth competition?

Yes, volunteering is a great way to give back and support local youth climbers. No experience necessary, there will be a brief training the day of. Please note there is also a shorter rec session on Sunday morning if you prefer to help out on that day. Sign up at our link here

What days and times is the gym closed?

The gym is closed for the competition on Sat. Nov 23. We are working this year to have minimal wall closures during comp setting, though there will be some walls closed on Fri Nov 22.

When does the gym reopen?

The gym reopens on Sun Nov 24th at the regular time of 9:00am. 

Why is Rock Haven hosting youth or collegiate comps?
We believe in supporting climbers of all ages, and participating in USA Climbing sanctioned comps is one way to do that. It gives climbers across the local community and region an opportunity to train and compete, and it is a chance for other climbers to give back as they volunteer or spectate and cheer for that next generation of climbers at events.

Youth climbers compete in Qualifying Events like the one we’re hosting, and those that rank high enough at the end of the season (December) will move on to Regionals, and potentially Divisional and National level competitions as well.
